Abstract | Embodiments herein provide a testing apparatus (whether physical or simulated) for testing a non-core MMU in a processor chip. Unlike core MMUs, non-core MMUs may be located in a part of the processor chip outside of the processing cores in the chip. Instead of being used to perform address translation requests sent by the processing core, the non-core MMUs may be used by other hardware modules in the processor chip such as compression engines, crypto engines, accelerators, etc. In one embodiment, the testing apparatus includes a MMU testor that transmits the translation requests to the non-core MMU which tests its functionality. Using the data provided in the translation requests, the non-core MMU performs virtual to physical address translations. The non-core MMU transmits the results of these translations to the MMU testor which compares these results to expected results to identify any design flaws in the non-core MMU. |
